This innovative bearing design showcases its versatility when paired with cylindrical rods. The accompanying Solidworks 2013 file features a parametric model that offers limitless design possibilities. Although it hasn't been printed yet, its expected behavior excels in providing minimal play for loads requiring both light weights and high speeds while also providing superior dampening qualities. 1. Begin by extracting the compressed ZIP file into a dedicated folder. 2. Next, access the equations.txt document and modify dimensions according to your preferences - namely, ID, length, and supports specifications can be tailored at will. NOTE: As you adjust your design parameters, don't forget to input a shaft diameter measurement that is slightly smaller than the actual diameter of the rod. 3. Save and exit the text file once all adjustments have been made. 4. Proceed to open the Solidworks part file in order for Solidworks to dynamically update its model with the freshly updated design specs. 5. With your custom design ready, save it as a comprehensive STL file format that can then be effortlessly printed out using materials such as Delrin, PLA, or ABS. In cases where an error notification about a missing equation file is encountered, simply navigate through the file explorer and manually browse to the location where the equations file was saved. Upon locating it, confirm its inclusion by clicking on it - the process should proceed smoothly from there. Feel free to experiment with this versatile bearing design as much as you'd like; I wholeheartedly encourage any feedback you might have.
